Last Sunday, being sunny, 2C, roads dry, I decide that I need to take Roush out for a drive, it is in garage and I have never driven it.
All going good, couple smal burn outs, sideways a couple time, cruised down QEW at 148 on gps. stop at local pub for a cold one

Decide to come home, get pulled over for no front plate

Show cop registration, saying i have had car for month, first time it is driven
tell him it is gonna snow out later, so car will be put away again
showed him receipt email, for a no screw front plate bracket that is on way

Still got a 110 bux ticket

then he starts to tell me how much he knows about cars, and wants to know if car has a Ford 427 (Roush fender and truck badge) in it.

I told him yes, sir, Ford is now using Chevy big blocks to save money

IDIOT

 

Well..... Not to be an *** but he is right. I got pulled over for the exact same thing last week but got off with a warning.

 

I had a ticket for the same thing in Windsor but a detective buddy had the ticket squashed tehehehe

 

i agree he was right. I think a warning may have sufficed, showed him receipt for bracket
He looked at registration, can see I just bought car

Think it is too close to end of month - quota time

 

for the guys who dont want holes in bumper for front plate

Just FYI, there was a Ford performance engine back in the 60s that displaced 427 ci, that's the tie-in for the Roush model name.

And the lack of a front plate will get you almost every time. Had the same thing happen when I was driving my old 87 on the street, race tires, noisy exhaust, the officer could have given me tickets for several things, but was reasonable about it and just gave me a $90 for no front plate (this was around 1995).

I had my plate in the front seat mounted to the "craigs custom" bracket which I showed him. Explained I just hadn't installed it yet and he let me off.

 

No front plate for me! Could I get a ticket If I went to Ontario?

 

Not if no front plate is required in your home province.

 

is all i had was a paypal email, saying it was shipped. didnt work
